the report spread rapidly that there

at the now bridge, under construction
between Louisville and Jeffersoiivllle.
n was llrst reported that a span of
tho bridiro had fallen nnd a train of
workmen had been thrown into the
river, hut this was at once discredited,
as there was no span In existence.
Then came the truth, that a caisson
had given way and the workmen era
ployed on it had been drowned or
crushed to death by stone and timber.
Tho caisson known as No. 1 waa
100 yards from the Kentucky shore.
As the workmen of the pumping sta
tion were looking for the men In the
caisson to put off in their boats, leav
ing the work for the night, they sud
denly saw the dark structure disappear
into
into llm roaiiilna whlta wnvuit anil
heard, before they could realize what '
nau Happened, the roar of the furious
maelstrom.
It was soon known that only four of
the eighteen who were at tho work at
that timo had escaped.
Correct rej oris from tho sceno f tho
accident show tho following list of

FAVORING WASHINQTON.

Washington, Jan. 1 1. The second
bearing on tho selection of the cite of
Jho quaaro-eentnnlal exhibition was
field ill the ladles' rrrentlnn rnnm
In the Senate wing of the Capitol,
when tlm claims of Washington were
presented. There
were present of the
committee Senators
Hlscock(chatrmau),
llawlcy, Farwell,
Wilson, of Iowa,
Colquitt, Ransom
tntl Vest.
Mr. Douglas, one
of the District Com-
mis loners, stated
the order in which
the arguments
would bo presented
columiiuh. and closed his re
marks by saying that If it should be
concluded to hold the Kxosltion else
where than in the N tioual capital,
the citizens of the District of Colum
bia would make every exertion, by
money or otherwise, to make it a mag
ninceni success.
Mr. Anderson, secret try of the Na
tional Hoard of Promotion of tho Three
Americas Exposition, ined tho argu
ments. He stld ho represented a com
mittee of citizens from all thu States
aud Territories who, Under the name
visions of tho bills Introduced by Sen
atorsGorman and Faulkner aud argued
that the buildings to be erected for the
fair should tie permanent and should
be under Government control. It
should lie In the nature of a museum,
free of charge anil not an exhibit of
perishable property. Tho two leading
features of the Exposition were these:
First To commemorate n great his
torical event, the discovery of America
by Columbus; aud second tho commer
cial Idea, which might bo called tho
thruo Americas trado movement. Tho
details of tho plan were to bo left to a
Government commission. Ho s tuply
advocated tho general proposition and
Idiu which, ho thought, win enter
tained by thu people at large that thu
expense of tho reposition should bo un
dertaken by thu Nation. It was evi
dent that thu wholu iieoplu were icady
and anxious to celebrate the great
event and thought that tho National
capital was thu only proper site.
The reasons for selecting Washing
ton, the speaker said, wero numeroiH.
Washington was thu city of the Nation
and all thu cities of tho ciuntry, St.
Louis, Chicago anil New York, by
which ho meant the jH'oplo of those
oltiui, had more control iu regulating
tho affairs of the District of Columbia
than its own residents hud. It was
the truly representative American city.
It was composed of ii habitants of all
the States and Territories. It was
governed by thu puuple of tho United
States through their Ilcpreseut.itives
in Congress. There would bo no wastti
in having tho Kxliii Itlou here, becatiMi
hatoer buildings would bo erected

i'VNEWN
THE C RON IN CASE.
Defendant' Attmrnere IMe a Wntlno lr
Hew Trial -A Lm Uat of Krrnre AI
Irged. Chiuaoo, Jan. 11. Lnto yoJorday
afternoon Attorneys Wing, Donahoe
and Forrest filed a petition for a now
trial In tho cases of Cotigliliu, Martin
Hurke, P. O'Sulllvan and John Kunze,
convicted of th murder of Dr. Cmnln,
In accordance with tho order of Judge
McDonnell, before whom the arguments
wilt be made Monday.
Tho petition assigns thirty-nine
cases of error in the rulings of Judge
McConnell touring tho case. They em
brace every point contested by the
attorneys for tho defense and
range from an objection to
the court's overruling the motion
to quash the indictments up to tho as
sertion that the defense has, slnco the
trial, discovered new evld-in.-e which
entitles thorn to a new trial. The first
error alleged Is that the court erred in
overruling the mo' ion to quash the in
dictment made in behalf of each ef tho
defendants. The denial of Coughliu's
motion for a sep.truto trial is undo the
basis of four of tho allcgod errors,
there being a separato count for each
of the defendants. The refusal of the
court to penult the defonso to show
that Messrs. Mills, Ingram and Hlnes
of the prosecution were engaged
by private parties who wore notuated
by personal motives and tho court's al
lowing theso throe lawyers to assist In
tho prosecution' are said to ho errors,
Mr. Hlnes Is n.ndo a subject of it spe
cial count ho being said to have been
moved by a spirit of hostility toward
the defendants and not tit to act as
prosecuting attorney. Tho overruling
of tho challenge for causo preferred by
defendants to a long list of veniremen,
whoso names are given in the motion,
is alleged to bo au error. Side re
marks made by tho State's attorney
while examining jurors are charged to
havo been improper. Judgo Ixingo
necker's opening statement to tlo Jury
is cited as an error and characterlred
ns Improper remarks of counsel for
the Mate, which excited the passions
aud prejudices of the juiors rgainsttho
defendants. It is charged as na error
that tho prosecution was permitted to
introduce us evidence aud exhibit to
tho jury the clothing, Instruments and
hair of Dr. Cumin, the fal.su teeth, tho
trunk aud all the mateilal evidence in
tho case. The Introduction of Dr.
('renin's knives after tho Stato hail
closed Its easo Is said to havo I oen au
error. Objection Is uiado to u number
of the instructions iven to tho Jury by
thu court. The erdlct is pronounced
as t'otitraiy to law ami not Justified
by evidence, ami finally it ii 3ald that
"the defendants and each f Mieni
havo discovered evidence which entitles
them to a now trial."
